Module Encryption 

Message compression and secure channels.

Encryption Module (IPC)

RESPONSIBILITIES

This module provides message compression and secure channel encryption for IPC operations. It optimizes message transfer through compression and ensures message confidentiality through AES-256-GCM encryption.

ARCHITECTURAL ROLE

This module is part of the security and performance layer in the IPC architecture, providing compression for efficiency and encryption for confidentiality.

KEY COMPONENTS

• MessageCompressor: Gzip compression for efficient message transfer
• SecureMessageChannel: AES-256-GCM encryption for secure communication

ERROR HANDLING

All operations return Result types with descriptive error messages for compression/encryption failures.

LOGGING

Debug-level logging for compression ratios, error for failures.

PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS

• Compression level 6 provides good balance between speed and ratio
• Batch size 10 aggregates small messages for efficiency
• AES-256-GCM provides hardware-accelerated encryption on modern CPUs

TODO

• Add compression algorithm selection
• Implement compression ratio optimization
• Add encryption key rotation
• Implement message authentication codes
